The following graph shows the market for croissants in San Diego, where there are over 1,000 bakeries at any given moment. Suppose an innovation in the baking process makes it possible to produce more croissants at a lower cost than ever before. Show the effect of this change on the market for croissants by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Dollars per croissant) QUANTITY (Croissants) Supply Demand Demand 1 Supply

Question 1 Consider a rice farmer planting two (2) types of rice, white and brown rice, concurrently in his rice field using the same resources and technology and harvesting them at the same time. Given that consumers like to mix both white and brown rice in their daily consumption, explain the effect on the white rice market when the price of brown rice increases. Support your answers with suitable white rice market diagrams. Consider a farmer that produces both white and brown rice. It is discovered that the demand for brown rice is relatively more inelastic compared to the demand for white rice. Initially the price of both white and brown rice is the same and the farmer produces the same quantity of white and brown rice. Now there is an improvement in agricultural technologies that affect both white and brown rice equally. Employ the demand and supply model to compare and contrast the effects on the equilibrium price and quantity of both white and brown rice…
Replacement car parts are an inferior good. The country is going through a recession. Simultaneously, the price of a key raw material used in making replacement car parts goes down. What happens to the price and output of replacement car parts? Briefly explain. Briefly explain. In addition, show this graphically by choosing the appropriate graph from the four graphs (A - D) in the link below.
Suppose that Paolo and Sharon are the only consumers of ice cream cones in a particular market. The following table shows their monthly demand schedules: Price Paolo’s Quantity Demanded Sharon’s Quantity Demanded (Dollars per cone) (Cones) (Cones) 1 8 16 2 5 12 3 3 8 4 1 6 5 0 4 On the following graph, plot Paolo’s demand for ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Sharon’s demand for ice cream cones using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for ice cream cones using the blue points (circle symbol). Note: Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.
This problem involves solving demand and supply equations together to determine price and quantity. a. Consider a demand curve of the form QD=-2P+20, where QD is the quantity demanded of a good and P is the price of the good. Graph this demand curve. Also draw a graph of the supply curve Qs =2P-4, where Qs is the quantity supplied. Be sure to put P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis. Assume that all the Qs and Ps are nonnegative for parts a, b, and c. At what values of P and Q do these curves intersect-that is, where does QD = Qs ? b. Now, suppose at each price that individuals demand four more units of output-that the demand curve shifts to QD - 2P+24. Graph this new demand curve. At what values of P and Q does the new demand curve intersect the old supply curve-that is, where does QD = Qs ? c. Now finally, suppose the supply curve shifts to Q's=2P-8. Graph this new supply curve. At what values of P and Q does QD=Q's? Show all working calculations and label garph with…
Suppose the daily demand for soda is given by P=4-(2/3)Q and the daily supply of soda is given by P= 1+ (1/3)Q, where P is the dollar price of a can of soda and Q is the number of cans of soda (in thousands). a.

Suppose that there are two companies that produce mobile phones: Brand A and Brand B. Explain how each of the following events will affect the market for Brand A phones by using supply and demand diagrams (mention the changes in equilibrium price and quantity): a) Price of Brand B phones increased. b) Brand A's factory's production capacity dropped because of a shortage in raw materials supplies. c) Brand A has developed a new technology that allows to assemble the phone's components in a cheaper way.
[Related to Solved Problem 10.4 on page 330] In an article in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Ted O’Donoghue and Matthew Rabin make the following observation: “People have self-control problems caused by a tendency to pursue immediate gratification in a way that their ‘longrun selves’ do not appreciate.” What do they mean by a person’s “long-run self ”? Give two examples of people pursuing immediate gratification that their long-run selves would not appreciate. Based on Ted O’Donoghue and Matthew Rabin, “Choice and Procrastination,” Quarterly Journal of Economics, February 2001, pp. 125–126.
In order to raise tax revenue and reduce cigarette sales, the government decided to impose a new alcohol tax on all beer sales. One year after introducing the tax, the government found that the tax was most effective in reducing beer sales among young people but did not have a significant effect on others. What can this information tell you about the demand curves?
The supply and demand for a computer in a store are given for two prices: for a price of $800, the demand quanity is 50 and the supply quanity 230: for a price of $50, the demand quanity is 150 and the supply quantity 150. Let a represent the quanity A. Write an equation representing the demand function B. Write an equation representing the supply function C. Find the equlibrium quantity and price

A student was asked to draw a demand and supply graph to illustrate the effect on the market for premium bottled water of a fall in the price of electrolytes used in some brands of premium bottled water, holding everything else constant. She drew the graph to the right and explained it as follows: "Electrolytes are an input to some brands of premium bottled water, so a fall in the price of electrolytes will cause the supply curve for premium bottled water to shift to the right (from S, to S₂). Because this shift in the supply curve results in a lower price (P₂), consumers will want to buy more premium bottled water and the demand curve will shift to the right (from D, to D₂) We know that more premium bottled water will be sold, but we can't be sure whether the price of premium bottled water will rise or fall. That depends on whether the supply curve or the demand curve has shifted farther to the right. I assume that the effect on supply is greater than the effect on demand, so I show…
